Stay classy, London:
A Trump supporter is milkshaked by a hostile crowd in Parliament Square.
And then it all kicks off…@LBC #TrumpVisit #trumpprotests pic.twitter.com/p2l5573fCG

It really isn’t a good look:
I have always been proud to be British, but not today. https://t.co/B4GBYyfuyk

Especially since the president is in London for the D-Day anniversary:
Trump is here to mark the anniversary of D-Day. Worth remembering this https://t.co/glIJyYxUSN

That crowd seemed so nice when they were just playing with their balloons!
The faces of those anti-Trump protestors. Full of hate. https://t.co/IfR0SfQF94

And we expect we’ll see more of this as it doesn’t look like there is any punishment for the bad behavior:
I like the fact that the milkshaking trend is continuing. Don't have much time for pearl-clutching centrists who are all "bUt bOtH sIdEs ArE bAd" https://t.co/9uGrGq6NrC

And is there a double-standard at work?
If these had been Brexiteers hurling abuse at a Remainer, they'd have been swiftly arrested at the behest of Anna Soubry, charged with harassment and facing jail. But, hey, they're reasonable, moderate, enlightened #TrumpProtest-ers. #TrumpUKVisit https://t.co/LRaj8vZGxi
